Still no replacement for past DressportsHandsome, quality leather, however I found it very disappointing in design and comfort. This long-toed style, which now dominates Rockport's line of dress shoes, looks hedge-fund showy--macho, pointy. It also requires extra effort to walk in a shoe with that much toe. The adiprene sole is flexible but seems hard and thin on the ball of the foot. If adiprene has replaced the old Goretex, and this extreme toe design continues, Rockport will not be the shoemaker I have depended on since 1975 for both sensible style and incredible, long-lasting comfort. I returned this shoe, the second dress style I have returned in the last few months.

Three and a half to four star daily shoeThese are really good "utility" wingtips. As most of the people said here, the shoe is extremely light and, for me at least, the fit is very soft.
I agree with "icecream's" comment that it's tough to keep a good shine on these. But, since I don't use them for meetings/evening activity I'm fine with the matte finish--it doesn't look dull, just not sharp.
With both of the pairs I've owned I've found they are susceptible to water damage in the seam between the shoe tip and the top--be careful there.
I'm also not in love with the Rockport logo on the side of the shoe, but it only slightly takes off how cool the shoe is.

Everything was smoothI was unfortunately blessed with the need for extra wide shoes. Finding them in a store is very difficult. The Rockport website made it so easy for me to just put the term "extra wide" in the search box and then just search for shoes I knew would fit me. I purchased three pairs and four days later they were at my house. I was impressed by the fact that in the box was a return label so if one or more did not fit, I could easily return them. Fortunately, they all fit great. I looked and could not find these shoes in a store. This online purchase was 10 out of 10 for me.

Good quality, comfortable, everyday shoe. Black 8Thanks to the Adiprene technology this shoe is a lightweight comfortable shoe that will work with most pants and even jeans.
I've owned these for about 6 weeks now and my main concern is keeping them well polished as per the picture. I've polished them a couple of times and it doesn't take long for the shine to go. I want a shoe that will maintain a shine but after a couple hours these start to lose that smarter look that the shine gives, this is probably down to how soft the leather is and is my own fault for not going for something like the Almartin.
In comparison to other shoe brands I would say these run a little bit on the small side (in terms of length) but only a small amount and it will depend on how thick your socks are, I tend to wear thin, well fitted socks.

poor fitting, soft heel, runs long.I could not find the Rockport Store in the Houston Galleria (please get some better store location info, I wandered around for about a half hour) , so I ordered these on the Web, big mistake. They looked like the old style Rockport liteweight Dressports shoes from about ten years ago that I really liked, but the fit and materials were different. The toe box especially seemed longer and lower and more square, and the materials seemed cheaper. The heel seemed to squish down after a few hours standing. Poor choice.

Not sureI have worn out three pair of the great Rockport Dressports and hoped this would be somewhat the same, but it is not. The old versions sole was twice the thickness of this one. I have not had a chance to wear them much outside as I have only had them about a month but I can tell they are not as comfortable as the original version although I will give them a chance and Rockport is always very good to work with. At this time for my purposes I will not recommend this particular shoe until I wear it more.

Rocco AI've been buying Rockport business and running shoes for over 20 years.
Being a business man, I'm on feet all day. Before Rockports, I can truly tell you my feet were killing me. I shopped around, but when I bought my first pair of their wingtips, I could not believe how comfortable and great looking their dress shoes are. They feel like tennis shoes. I feel loke I could go jogging. Because they have a great selection to choose from, I will never buy any other shoes again.
Thank you Rockport

I like the rockport lite wingtip shoe.Shopping one line I am seeing you don't have the rockport lite wingtip in a 10.5 wide. I have been buying these shoes at outlets. Why can't I order them online? They are a great shoe when you have to walk a lot.
